The representatives of the three major feudal territories are very important.

On behalf of Yade, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, was Kui Lun, the deputy capital of the Eight Banners of Fuzhou garrison, who was born in Manchuria with a blue flag and was born after Fei Yingdong, the fifth minister of the founding of the country.

On behalf of Li Shuyao, the governor of Liangguang, he was the deputy capital of the Eight Banners of the Guangzhou garrison, Fu Zengge, who was born in the Yellow Banner of Manchuria, and his great-grandfather was Tuhai, a general of the Kangxi Dynasty.

On behalf of the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Ening, Jiang Lan, who held the post of envoy to the government of Yunnan, was born as a jinshi in the twelfth year of Qianlong.

However, the spokesman of the three major feudal frontiers is Zhao Yi, the prefect of Guangzhou.

To be precise, it was Zhao Yi, the prefect of Guangzhou, who contributed to the alliance of the three major feudal frontiers.

Zhao Yi was originally the first place in the 26th year of Qianlong's examination, and he should have been the champion, but unfortunately Qianlong had not produced a champion in Shaanxi since the founding of the People's Republic of China, so he pointed out the third place Wang Jie as the champion and let the first place Zhao Yi do the flower.

Therefore, Wang Jie's champion belongs to pie in the sky, which is not authentic enough.

Zhao Yi was haunted by this, and he regretted it for life, and every time he borrowed the poems to send injustice.

Later, the governor of Guangzhou, Li Shuyao, helped him get the post of prefect of Guangzhou.

Guangzhou, as the only port of trade between the Qing Dynasty and Western countries, the prefect was naturally different from other places, and belonged to the officials within the Qing Dynasty who rarely opened their eyes to the world.

At the age of 18, he became the deputy commander of the Han army, and then served as the deputy commander of Rehe, the squire of the Ministry of Industry, the general of Guangzhou, and twice served as the governor of Liangguang.

And ready to mobilize the two Guangxi soldiers and horses to go north to Qinwang to crusade against the puppet restoration regime in Xiangyang, but the situation developed too fast, Shandong, Zhili, Henan, Jiangsu, Hubei, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Shanxi and other provinces were all electrified to recognize the new regime in the country, and once the main force of the two Guangxi Qing armies went north to Qinwang, the Hunan Xinghan army would inevitably take advantage of the weakness, and under the superposition of various factors, Li Shiyao did not dare to go north to Qinwang.

Zhao Yi gave him advice, believing that he should contact Yade, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, who had not yet expressed their attitude, and several families should join forces to send troops together, so that the military pressure faced by Guangdong could be greatly reduced, and the strength of the Qinwang army would also be greatly strengthened.

Li Shuyao did not hesitate to agree to Zhao Yi's plan, and in order to win the support of Fujian, Zhejiang, Yunnan and Guizhou, he sent Zhao Yi to Fuzhou and Kunming to lobby, and offered Guangdong's biggest advantage - banknotes.

That is, as long as Fujian, Zhejiang, and Yunnan and Guizhou are willing to jointly crusade against the puppet regime of the Restoration, Guangdong will provide the two families with the money, food, and weapons and equipment they need to send troops.

However, it was not Li Shiyao, the governor of Liangguang, who paid for the military expenses, but the Thirteen Banks and the Dutch East India Company.

The Thirteen Lines and the Dutch East India Company were willing to finance the Northern Expedition of the Southern Army, because the trade opened by the Restoration regime in the North greatly harmed their interests.

As the thirteen banks that monopolized the foreign import and export trade of the Qing Dynasty, they were unwilling to share their cake in the north.

Because this cake is so big, that the treasury revenue of the Qing Dynasty is not as big as this cake.

If the northern Restoration Imperial Court cannot be defeated, it will not be long before the Restoration Army, which has integrated the northern forces, will inevitably move south to use troops, and at that time, Guangdong's military and political leaders will definitely be replaced, and the single-mouth trade pattern will also be completely changed, which is undoubtedly the foundation of the Thirteen Lines.

It is in the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, and when the profits are so high that they are scared to death, it is natural for them to choose to act as funders of war.

The Dutch East India Company also did not want Britain and France to cross over to reach a trade agreement with the new imperial court in China, form a new trading base in the north of China, and snatch away their exclusive rights to operate in China.

On a larger scale, it is due to the possibility that the Netherlands, the home country of Europe itself, will fight a fourth war with Britain.

The trigger was the Dutch government's declaration of support for the American Revolutionary War last year.

Britain now has a naval advantage over the Netherlands, and has always been dissatisfied with the Dutch's occupation of eastern trade, so the British also hope to launch another war against the Netherlands, so as to completely defeat the poorly armed Netherlands, plunder their rich caravan supplies and colonies, and make Britain replace the sea coachmen as the biggest master of maritime trade.

At present, the British East India Company has been aggressive towards the Dutch East India Company, and now it is more likely to snatch its exclusive trade rights, and the Dutch East India Company must of course support the local government in southern China that has been cooperating, otherwise what awaits the Dutch East India Company will be the end of withdrawing from trade with China, and this loss is unbearable for the company.

Then, the small Restoration that took place in the East inadvertently affected Britain and the Netherlands, thousands of miles away, and it was very dramatic.

If Jia Liu, who was outside the Guan, knew that the Dutch actually supported Guangdong's rebellion, he would have spoken angrily: "The internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty will never allow foreign forces to interfere!" ”

Zhao Yi, who acted as a "broker", lobbied with remarkable results, and Yade, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and E, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, did not believe the rumor that the emperor was a Han Chinese, and they all believed that the devil was the thief who usurped the Qing Dynasty.

The reason why Yade has been silent is mainly because most of Fujian's Qihan army has been lost in Taiwan, and Zhejiang does not obey his orders as a governor, so only with the current strength of Fujian's soldiers and horses, he does not dare to point fingers at the puppet court of the Restoration.

Yunnan-Guizhou Governor Ening is the son of the former scholar Ortai, although Ortai was attacked by Qianlong's revenge after his death, became the victim of the first literary prison in Manchuria, and was withdrawn from the Xian Liang Temple, but Qianlong was still very good to Ening, and promoted him from the household department to the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and repeatedly issued edicts to reward E-Ning, saying that he was very opportune, so it was impossible for E-Ning to betray Qianlong to the son of the Han army and suddenly became the prince of Daqing Rui, and then turned into a self-proclaimed emperor of the devil six wagging tails.

Yungui is poor, but like Shaanxi and Gansu, the soldiers and horses are elite.

Thanks to the campaign of conquest of Burma in the past few years, the green battalion troops in Yunnan and Guizhou are much stronger than those in other provinces, and there are more than 40,000 battalions in the two provinces, and it is not a big problem to recruit tens of thousands of them if they have sufficient money, food and equipment.

So Euning readily agreed to respond to Li Shiyao's proposal to go north to King Qin, but before he could put his troops and horses in order, news of the fall of Jingshi came from the north.

It is rumored that the devil did not kill Qianlong, but treated him well.

But Euning didn't believe it, he thought that Qianlong Ye was most likely killed by the devil, and the so-called kindness was just a cover to confuse the governor.

Therefore, it was decided to send troops immediately, and the Yunnan-Guizhou army attacked Sichuan, which responded to the Restoration, and then entered Shaanxi from Sichuan, and went out of Tongguan to attack Beijing through Shanxi.

The soldiers and horses of Liangguang went out of Shaoguan to attack Hunan, and Fujian discussed with Zhejiang, if Zhejiang was willing to raise troops, it would be better, and if they were unwilling to raise troops, Zhejiang could also borrow the road.

In this way, the three soldiers and horses are launched at the same time, and they will inevitably be able to recover half of the wall in a short time, thus calling on more officials to rise up to crusade against the thief and the devil.

Good plan, very good.

Li Shuyao, the governor of Liangguang, supported the plan of the three families to act together, and planned to mobilize troops on the 15th day of the first month of the new year, but at this time there was good news - Leer, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, sent people to negotiate with them on the matter of jointly fighting against them.

The governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Euning, thought that Leerjin could not be trusted, because Leerjin was the third to issue a telegram in response to the Restoration after Yang Jingsu, the governor of Zhili, and Bo Qing, the governor of Sichuan, to support the feudal territory of Devil Six.

And he also sent people to Xiangyang to participate in the puppet hundred official clan conference held by Devil Six, but now he sent someone to tell them that he and Devil Six are not all the way, and he is willing to work together with the major feudal territories to rebuild the Qing Dynasty, and he knows what medicine is sold in the gourd.

However, Li Shiyao said in the letter that Leerjin could be co-opted, and said that Leerjin and he were both members of the mutual aid association, and Yu Minzhong, who was forced to retire before, wrote a secret letter to him in Zhongtang, in which he alleged that if he wanted to recreate the Qing Dynasty and save the emperor, he must unite Leerjin, who owned Shaanxi and Gansu provinces.

He also said that according to the information he received, Devil Six and Leer were at odds with each other, and Leer had privately colluded with Prince An, and even sent soldiers and horses to join the battalion of Shanxi Governor Ebao when Devil Liu's puppet army marched into Beijing, wanting to enter Beijing to prevent Devil Six from occupying Beijing.

Li Shiyao pointed out the importance of having one more friend and one more road, especially Leer Jin has tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in the Eight Banners in the northwest, especially the 5,000 Eight Banners Iron Cavalry in Xi'an Mancheng is really a rare elite of the Eight Banners, if Leer is willing to do things anyway, then in addition to Yunnan, Guizhou, Liangguang, and Fujian, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces will be added, and Shanxi Governor Ebao is also very likely to participate in the grand event, and the other powerful factions in the northwest such as General Yin Li, the Minister of Xining, and the Minister of Kulun will definitely also participate.

After thinking about it again and again, Ering and his staff agreed to send a representative to Xi'an to talk with Leer.

In order to ensure that Leer could be on their side, at least not to support Devil Six, Li Shiyao asked Zhao Yi to accompany Fu Zengge to Xi'an.

Talks to decide the fate of the Qing Dynasty soon began behind closed doors.

Zhao Yi, Fu Zengge, Jiang Lan, and Kui Lun, representatives of the three major feudal territories, were seated opposite the round table.

Shaanxi and Gansu representatives Leerjin, Bi Yuan, Yang Mingyang, and Se were seated opposite the round table.

Why Round Table?

I don't know.

Anyway, since Lao Le came back from a meeting in Beijing last year, his whole spirit is different from before.

No matter where the meeting is held, he likes to set up a main table in the meeting hall like the National Assembly, where he sits alone, holding a tea jar in his hand, and condescendingly speaks to the officials.

The two sides first exchanged views on the current situation, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, because the two sides agreed that the usurper devil Liuzi was the common enemy of the Qing army and the people, and that he must take advantage of this kid to lead the puppet army to exchange mobile meetings with the Shengjing general Hongsheng outside the pass, and jointly send troops to smash his Huanglong.

"According to the news in the capital, after the sixth devil usurped the throne, he had a mental problem, and he was stupid and stupid without the appearance of an emperor, in order to let his gang of puppet soldiers sell their lives in Guan, what did he say to sell the Old Summer Palace, not enough to sell even the Forbidden City, and even he could sell it himself, listen, is this like a word? really let such a bastard be the son of heaven in the Qing Dynasty, wouldn't my Qing Dynasty be laughed to death by friendly people from all over the world! ”

The Admiral of the Northwest Eight Banners Garrison was stunned and told such a joke to everyone during the break in the meeting, which caused the representatives of the three major feudal territories to shake their heads.

Bi Yuan, the governor of Shaanxi, was in the dark, his buttocks moved slightly, and he looked very interested.

Yang Mingyang, the political envoy of Shaanxi, coughed lightly and spoke on behalf of the governor and said that the northwest completely agreed with the proposal of the three major feudal frontiers to jointly crusade against the devil six, but there was a problem that needed to be discussed in advance.

Zhao Yi, the prefect of Guangzhou, hurriedly said: "Lord Yang, please speak!" ”

This is the rule, it's useless to say a thousand good things, you have to tell ugly things too.

Yang Mingyang glanced at the rear of the governor who was drinking tea with a tea jar and said: "If the big guys unite to fight for the devil six, the devil six is destined to be swept into the garbage heap of history, but since ancient times, there must be a leader, and the so-called snake has no head, so I want to hear your opinion on this matter." ”

Kui Lun, the deputy capital of the Eight Banners of the Fuzhou Garrison, who represented Yade, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Fu Zengge, the deputy capital of the Eight Banners of the Guangzhou Garrison, who represented Li Shuyao, the governor of Liangguang, and Jiang Lan, who represented the Yunnan Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, who held the post of envoy to the government, glanced at each other, and finally nodded to Zhao Yi, the spokesman of the court.

Meaning is what you say.

Zhao Yi did not shirk, got up and looked at the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Leerjin: "We hope that a strong and powerful person will come out to lead everyone." ”

"A powerful man?"

Lao Le's eyes lit up, although this was the first time he had heard of it, it was really powerful.

Seeing this, Bi Yuan hurriedly asked the question in his heart for the Governor: "So, who is this powerful person?" ”

"Of course it's the master of Taiwan!"

Zhao Yi looked solemnly at Leerjin: "If the Lord of Taiwan is willing to come out to lead the provinces to raise affairs, the two Guangxi are willing to be the President of the Eight Provinces Alliance!" ”

Which eight provinces?

Shaanxi, Gansu, Shanxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian.

Zhejiang to be discussed.

"Yungui seconded!"

Jiang Lan, who represented Yunnan as the envoy to Yunnan, hurriedly got up to show Yungui's attitude.

"Fujian and Zhejiang seconded the proposal!"

Fujian representative Kui Lun also stood up and gave a happy speech.

There are no objections.

Because Thiler would like to come out to sit in the hall, it was a tripartite consensus reached by Governor Li, Governor Ya, and Governor E before.

There's no way, who let Leerjin have the most soldiers and horses, and he is closest to the Beijing Division.

Of course, according to the understanding of ordinary people, it is a shot to shoot the first bird, as long as you are a sitting hall, then the police department will definitely be the first to sweep your field, who will let you get close to Beijing.

"Hey, how can this official be elected as the president by all provinces... Well? The Great President? ”

Leer, who was being modest, suddenly felt a sudden in his heart, and then looked at Zhao Yi with a puzzled expression, and asked with some disbelief: "No, you have also read the book "Down with the Evil Feudalism"? ”
